Atleast. Alot. Afew. Abit. Bestfriend.

Why did we start mashing words together? "Alot" has been around for a while, but now folks are saying "I took afew hours off" and "it was abit cold outside." There's no way autocorrect is going this as they aren't correct.

"Bestfriend" is a relatively new one, I guess influenced by "girlfriend"/"boyfriend." Compared to the others it's less intolerable.

Edit: I forgot "aswell"!

Where did "debark" instead of "disembark" come from?

This is a new word that I've only come across on Reddit fairly recently - has it been around for a while?

You embark and then disembark, but I see so many people talking about "debarking", which sounds like an illegal surgery you'd do on a noisy dog!

If debark were right, then you'd be barking when you boarded the ship, an image that always makes me laugh.

The council moved quickly after it was reported - at least I'm assuming that's who dealt with it.

There's some staining left unfortunately, but at least the tags are gone.

e.g. people posting in r/TattooAdvice and titling their post "tattoo advice".

Just saw one in r/AmIOverreacting where the title was "am I overreacting about this??"

One recently in r/Emirates titled "Emirates". Dude, everything here is about Emirates. What's your post about in particular?
